Jonathan Viera: "We want to keep winning and stay at the top. All the points we get in this first half will be important."

Jonathan Viera appeared before the media who attended the renewal of the sponsorship between UD Las Palmas and Volkswagen Canarias. "It has been a sponsorship that has always accompanied us, it is very nice that this union continues and hopefully it will continue for many more years," said the yellow captain.

Regarding the next match at Gran Canaria, Viera emphasized that the team "is eager to keep winning and stay at the top, all the points we get in this first half will be very important because in the second half everyone pushes harder. The two times we have been promoted, the second half felt a bit long," he added.

These were some of his statements:

"I don't know what will happen, logically the end is closer than the beginning, but I don't think about it. I go by the sensations and how I feel physically. At this stage of the season, it doesn't worry me, what I want is to enjoy a lot, I am 36 years old and that's the only thing I want this year."

"I didn't think it was a tough situation in the second half in Castellón, it's a different situation. I came out with excitement and a desire to help the team and bring that competitive spirit I have to the rest of my teammates. The team is doing well and winning, if we want to stay at the top at home, we have to be strong. We come out a bit more aggressive than away from home, tough moments will come because it's normal, it happens to all teams."

"I train to play, I have to help in another way. Hopefully, these physical problems I've had at the beginning of the season, which I think have worn me down a bit, will now leave me alone, and I can enjoy being on the field."

"I talk a lot with the coach, we have a very good relationship. We agree on many thoughts."

"In the position I play, I think it's where I've always felt most comfortable."

"We are used to seeing Canarians in the team, and I think it shouldn't be lost, it's our essence. What we have to do is help each other, stop looking for faults everywhere. To achieve the goal, we all have to row in the same direction."

"I think having a team that doesn't concede many goals gives you many advantages."

"Now I am more mature, I am passionate about football, and when I stop playing, I will have to keep doing something related."

"My decision will not depend on the category, that doesn't worry me. It will depend on how I arrive and how I feel myself. It's not just what you do on the field, it's a day-to-day thing."
